Bite Me: Uruguay 2019 Copa América Preview

Don T - June 10, 2019June 10, 2019

Lips near each other, no teeth showing: perfect form for a kiss. That was in 2011, the last time Uruguay won the Copa América. Incidentally, that was the last Copa in which Luis Suárez played. He will play in this one; chomp on that, folks. There have been 43 Copa Américas

Your Middle of the Night The Cure Live Disintegration Show from Sydney Live Blog

ballsofsteelandfury - May 30, 2019May 30, 2019

Kyle Broflovski was right: For those of you that don't know, The Cure has been in Australia playing their album "Disintegration" from beginning to end as part of the 30th anniversary of its release. Since they don't want to play the same show EVERY place they visit this year, they are live-streaming

Pre-NFL Draft DFO Draft – For Ole Times’ Sake

ballsofsteelandfury - April 24, 2019April 22, 2019

One of the very few rules we set up around here when DFO was created was that we would try to not copy or rehash posts that KSK made famous. For the most part, we've been pretty successful in forging our own path. Heck, even former KSKers are copying

King Hippo gave me the raging semi, by the way. He's good like that-a real solid internet buddy, as opposed to all you viscous, semi-transparent folks out there in the ether. So kiddos, we all know who's playing who and where they're playing and what sport they're playing and which planet

Boots On The Ground: The AVN Awards Show

ballsofsteelandfury - January 25, 2019January 24, 2019

I've mentioned this before and this is probably not surprising to many of you, but yes, I, BallsofSteelAndFury, have attended the AVN Awards Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. For someone NOT in the industry, it is as surreal as you may think. I've wanted to tell this story for a long time,

My diary is filled with various loving tributes to the many, many blades I have in my collection. (Thankfully, no one talks about Knife Control) Much like any artist I've felt the need recently to expand my skill set, but how? The non-profit I visited did so many things for those

For your non-reading, non-pleasure - while you no doubt enjoy the Huddersfield/City and Spurs/Mighty Whitey double bill on NBCSN: Son of Spam NFC: Rams over the Saints because I'm an unabashed homer (mmmm...beer...) and the Gumbo offense has been kinda mediocre for a while. Let's say 106-20. AFC: Chiefs beat the Evil Empire by 10,

Love Actually – The Balls Review

ballsofsteelandfury - January 18, 2019January 15, 2019

Author's Note: A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, I made a public DFO bet, which I promptly lost. My self-inflicted punishment was to watch Love Actually and write a post about it. For a little chunk of space-time, DFO had a sister blog called "Bring Back

Dearest Elizabeth, I hope this letter finds you well. I hope that Dolly successfully calved by now. Please give all my love to Bathsheba, Caleb, Horace, Moses, Ruth, Levi, Ambrose, Solomon, Rowland, Little Anna, Hester, Esther, Fester and Mary. Excuse me for saying so but my beard becomes dewy when recalling that

I love rail yards. Always have. I grew up near one and as a kid and I was fascinated by all the trains coming and going north, west, east and south-bringing, well, pretty much anything where it was needed. When my work offered me an opportunity to head to Omaha

Naw, I don't think so-it's already been done by Shakey The Sphere and that was some time ago. Let's compare each of these games (many of which are...hold onto your barnacles...completely irrelevant!) to say, an offering at a buffet-style restaurant or a meal/snack I enjoyed as a child. What's that? Did
